I have been working with children with exceptionalities for over 14 years. I am a Highly Qualified Texas Board Certified Teacher and Licensed Educational Diagnostician. I am knowledgeable about the classifications of students' learning differences and I understand how to effectively develop, implement, evaluate and facilitate the delivery of interventions for children with different learning styles. For over 14 years I have delivered differentiated and scientifically proven instructional techniques in which are prescriptive, systematic, motivating, creative and culturally responsive. My success as an educator can be attributed to my creativity and ability to effectively target instruction based on students' strengths and weaknesses. I am committed to being a life-long learner and staying abreast of 21st century teaching and learning. This will guide and direct my recommendations and assure the development of individualized treatment plans and interventions that are purposeful, observable, and measurable.

Q&A with Deidra

My philosophy of teaching is, students have to be motivated to learn in a nonthreatening environment. Teaching character proceeds academic instruction. My ultimate objective is to nurture and develop each and every child holistically to their absolute highest potential. The wise teacher will remember there is a difference between the beginner, one who is getting on, and the one who is fully accomplished. The awareness of the capabilities of my students will guide the deliverance of my instruction and methods of intervention. I am committed to strive to make a positive impact on each student that comes my way. This will be accomplished with an unrelenting effort to nurture and enrich their natural talents. Children are precious and will one day serve in the community I live in. Education will always have a need to be reformed to meet the needs of our ever-changing society. Some things will never change. All children deserve to learn.
